Abstract

A method includes: receiving, at a server and from an augmented reality device, user information of a user using the augmented reality device; generating, by the server, a picture feature sample sub-library corresponding to the user information, including screening out, from a preset picture feature sample library, picture feature samples associated with the user information; and providing, to the augmented reality device, the picture feature sample sub-library, wherein the picture feature sample sub-library can be configured to be used by the augmented reality device to perform, during image scanning of an offline environment of the user, image recognition of images scanned from the offline environment by comparing the scanned images to picture features in the picture feature sample sub-library.
